Abstract
This study was performed to purify fig pectinesterase(F-PE) and characterize its in situ activity. Three kinds of F-PE were partially separated by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, Q-Sepharose column, CM-cation exchanger column chromatography, and HPLC. One of those was anionic protein and the others were cationic proteins. All of them had approximate molecular weight of 27,000 and lost rapidly their activity during storage. Therefore alternative crude enzyme was prepared by suspending the freeze dried and milled fig powder in 0.1 M NaCl at pH 7.5. F-PE had the optimum pH of 8.5, the optimum temperature of
무화과 PE를 추출하여 ammonium sulfate로 분획 투석한 후 Q-Sepharose column 및 CM-cation exchanger column을 이용한 chromatography와 HPLC에 의해 1개의 음이온성 PE와 2개의 양이온성 PE로 분리되었으며, 이들은 모두 전기영동상에 분자량 27,000정도의 밀접한 두 개의 band로 나타난 부분 정제된 단백질이었다. 이 효소 단백질들은 보관 중에 활성을 급격히 상실되므로 현실적인 이용성을 고려하여 분말화한 시료 현탁액을 이용한 in situ PE의 특성을 조사하였다. 그 결과 분말 시료는 냉동 저장뿐 만 아니라
